Exegesis
σὺν {σὺν | syn} with τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ {τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ | toîs ma-thē-taîs au-toû} marks accompaniment, not mere proximity.
εἰς ὃν εἰσῆλθεν {εἰς ὃν εἰσῆλθεν | eis hon eis-ēl-then} completes the movement toward that setting, while αὐτός {αὐτός | au-tós} placed before καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ {καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ | kai hoi ma-thē-taí au-toû} gives added stress to Jesus Himself and then brings the disciples into the action. The English renderings therefore break the Greek sequence into short clauses so the motion from speech, to departure, to crossing, to entry remains clear and readable.
